Stefan, look back to your change of summary from "X installer refuses to start
on i81x integrated video" on 2006-09-12 09:32:08, which was specific to
installation but you changed to general vesa, and you should see this bug was
filed because of a broken installer. There is no installed xorg-x11-server on a
system that has no OS installed do to failure of graphical install to start and
consequent aborted install.
I tested earlier today for the existence of a fix for this bug by trying again
to install graphically on my i810 system, and was unsuccessful. "It" in comment
35 referred to the installer and comment 0. "Shouldn't factory ftp now have the
fix?" in comment 35 referred to being able to install graphically from ftp
source, as described in comment 0 . I failed to first check to see that
ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/boot/i386/root
, which is what I believe is the installation program, had not been updated
since comment 33, which means I wasted my time and yours today with comment 35
and following.
On the i815 system I already installed rc4 on using the text mode of the
installer, I have done no updates since the comment 36 fix, and am still
successfully using the i810 driver to run X.
